Montana Varnish is a high-quality, acid-free, quick-drying clear varnish with an acrylic base. Designed to protect and preserve your artwork, it prevents yellowing or desaturation over time, ensuring long-lasting results. This versatile varnish can be used for both interior and exterior applications, making it ideal for art, hobby projects, crafts, and DIY work. Available in gloss, semi-gloss, and matte finishes, it provides excellent protection for surfaces such as canvas, paper, charcoal drawings, bast fibre, wood, and photographs. The varnish offers protection against oxidation and UV light, and the more layers you apply, the stronger the UV protection. It ensures that your artwork stays vibrant and well-protected, even when exposed to the elements. During application, it is important to shield the surrounding area and ensure that the surface is clean and free of dust, oils, and rust.

How to Use

For best results, shake the can thoroughly for 2-3 minutes. Before using, remove the safety ring by taking off the nozzle, turning the can upside down, and allowing the ring to fall out. Reapply the nozzle once the ring has been removed. When applying the varnish, spray in several thin layers, allowing approximately 2 minutes of drying time between each coat. If necessary, further coats can be applied, with a curing time of 24 hours or more, depending on the substrate. It is important to test the varnish on a non-visible area to ensure compatibility with your paint or lacquer. For long-term storage, always keep the nozzle on the can. Please note that Montana Varnish is not compatible with synthetic-based lacquers.
